A collaborative cardiologist-pharmacist care model to improvehypertension management in patients with or at high risk for cardiovasculardisease

摘要

With recommendations for lower blood pressures in patients with coronary artery disease, a cardiologist-pharmacist collaborative care model may be a novel way to achieve these more rigorous goals of therapy.
